The Evils Of The Artisan Charm!

[Quseio]

8 tries ! i had to make 8 attempts 2 with max pottery aas! ... this is utterly ridiculous if {SOE} cant do the anti randomness code like people posted about on the rng thread how about one for just having successes on items made ? 8 tries is way unfair to me i am quite

This kind o things makes me want to do violence upon the Rng

Ok this would not be a problem if! there was a single pullable camp of kickpick slaves in sunder rock but theres none so me as a mage is screwed.

Oh you say get people to help i did thought 2 vergalid clay would be enough but noooo .

You might want to rethink how you phrase that... some could take it as casting aspirations on our patron dev, which is a very naughty thing.

Having said that, welcome to tradeskills. I blew FOUR seperate oldschool Brewing Trophies up on the final combine before I got one. Yea, the one with the 1k corking device as an ingredient, and the artisan's seal which usually runs you around 5k by the time you get done mounting everything...

And you can just hear the unholy screams at the fletchers making the PoR bow and failing on the 100ish skill after making 300+ skill checks, requiring you to go hunting for groundspawns... again...

There is a cave in sunderock that has a number of the slaves in that are pullable solo. Just have to keep an eye on where the guard is before you pull. He walks around going from goblin to goblin. The cavemouth and area just outside is safe to fight in.... its not the biggest area but I found it big enough for my druid to Root/Rot Kite in.

I feel your pain, 8 failures must hurt.... I think i got mine on 3rd.

GL....

rng pain???
Try losing the AAAA box on the final combine which has a trivial 100 points lower than the sub combines and salvaging nothing....thats only 125k

If you are seriously bothered about not being able to make the charm, then you are in for serious shocks trying to max it.

Welcome to Tradeskills

Ok, we understand your pain and sympathize. (This belongs in PSR, not General, BTW.)

But presuming it stays in General as a real "limit the number of failures in a row on an item" thread.

Wow... just ... wow. I can't even guess at how many issues that would raise. Do you mean failures on a specific ITEM. A skill. Over-all skills ?

You failed 7 in a row. And made an 8th attempt. Would you have gone for 9 had you failed again?

Be honest.

There are very good reasons to have the artisan charm. (Slipgear and Wanderlust, ask for them by name.)

Console yourself with the idea that by missing 6 extra (usually I've seen it average about 2 combines) you let 6 other tradeskillers get lucky and make it on the first attempt. (And they are probably the ones that sold their extra materials in the bazaar if you bought some there.)

Moved to PSR.

eh i dont think ill try and make a final run on fletching till i see a more viable route...groundspawns ftl
ive got a route for smithing shadow scream then i dont know wht but qfter that useing up my essence of darkness but the ackehvian blood seems kinda rare whats the best spot maidens or vt if ya can get in ?- yes ive spent alot of money getting these skills up alot!

but getting vergalid clay was eww and 8 trys is absoilutely rediculous
and siorry for not putting it int he right forum

After reading this thread, I'm even happier the range was nice to me when I made mine.

I made 1 attempt, got my trophy on that try, and got a pottery skill up to boot. (That took me to 207 in pottery. :P)

Sometimes the RNG hates ya, sometimes it loves ya.

I got very lucky on this one too. I was 216 skill and I bought one mastery lvl just before making the attemp, got a skill up and made the charm first shot.

I do feel for the oringinal op though, We all have our runs of bad luck. On my rogue I once failed around 15 combine attempts for a radiant titanite of pure ferocity. This was back when scoria was around 70kp each too. Was close to a million in losses there and my ranger ended up with only a radiant titanite of ferocity hehe.

284 skill, no mastery or salvage. failed first try (fired them wrong or something on the final step) but on second try succeeded!. Now I need something to fit the second aug slot:


Slipgear is maxed, working on TSS aug but it's a long way from done. anything that is "better than nothing" that I can use until the guildstone is good?

[Tiroon]

The Wanderlust Loadstone (SOE spelling nor mine ) will update when equipped. Just put the aug into the charm and continue the quest.

Um. Care to explain the colors on that screenshot?
